What kind of engine does it have? Most are belt drive, and need changing at 40,000.

Write to or ring up the previous keeper (see the V5 document) and ask them when it was changed last. Ask for the invoice as well to absolutely prove it. Otherwise get it changed NOW - - the car will be scrap when the belt breaks.
